An Interview with Rob Walser in Toronto
No full textIn late autumn of 2000, thousands of music scholars gathered at an international mega-conference in Toronto. On that occasion, Teresa Magdanz and Simon Wood met privately with Robert Walser, Professor of Musicology at UCLA, to discuss a number of questions pertinent to popular music studies, many of which were raised at the conference. In their interview they explore the trajectory of his work, his thoughts on the relationship between music scholarship and performance, and his reflections on popular music and the academy, the implications of which extend beyond popular music studies to challenge the broader scope and practice of musicological scholarship.À la fin de l’automne 2000, Toronto a été l’hôte d’un congrès international d’envergure qui a rassemblé des milliers de chercheurs en musique. À cette occasion, Teresa Magdanz et Simon Wood ont tenu une séance privée avec Robert Walser, professeur de musicologie à UCLA; ils ont débattu de nombreuses questions se rapportant à l’étude des musiques populaires, dont plusieurs avaient été soulevées lors du congrès. Les interviewers explorent la trajectoire des travaux de Walser, sa pensée sur les relations qu’entretiennent le savoir musical et l’interprétation, de même que ses réflexions sur la musique populaire et l’institution, dont les implications dépassent l’étude des musiques populaires et mettent en question la portée et la pratique du savoir musicologique
The development of e-MERLIN
No full textDeep in the heart of the Cheshire countryside lies Jodrell Bank Observatory, home to the UK's national facility for high-resolution radio astronomy: e-MERLIN, the enhanced Multi-Element Remote-Linked Interferometer Network. In this issue of A&G , the e-MERLIN team highlights some of its cutting-edge experiments, probing fundamental physical processes in our own galaxy, and reaching further out to higher redshift where radio astronomy can investigate cosmic history and evolution. In this first article, Simon Garrington and Rob Beswick explain how e-MERLIN came to be
Rangeland Livelihood Strategies under Varying Climate Regimes: Model Insights from Southern Kenya
No full textRangelands throughout sub-Saharan Africa are currently undergoing two major pressures: climate change (through altered rainfall and seasonality patterns) and habitat fragmentation (brought by land use change driven by land demand for agriculture and conservation). Here we explore these dimensions, investigating the impact of land use change decisions, by pastoralists in southern Kenya rangelands, on human well-being and animal densities using an agent-based model. The constructed agent-based model uses input biomass data simulated by the Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS) dynamic vegetation model and parameterized with data from literature. Scenarios of land use change under different rainfall years, land tenure types and levels of wildlife conservation support were simulated. Reflecting reality, our results show livestock grazing as the predominant land use that changes with precipitation and land tenure leading to varying livelihood strategies. For example, agriculture is the most common livelihood in wet years and conservation levels increase with increasing support of wildlife conservation initiatives. Our model demonstrates the complex and multiple interactions between pastoralists, land management and the environment. We highlight the importance of understanding the conditions driving the sustainability of semi-arid rangelands and the communities they support, and the role of external actors, such as wildlife conservation investors, in East Africa

General Aspects of Fractures in Children
No full textA fracture is a partial or complete disruption of the continuity of bone or cartilage, due to mechanical forces exceeding the strength of the bone or cartilage to withstand these forces.Fractures are common in children. In a large Swedish study, the overall annual incidence of fractures in children was 2.1% (2.6 for boys; 1.7 for girls). Most fractures in children are the result of accidental trauma and conventional radiography (x-rays) is by far the preferred modality to diagnose them. This chapter discusses the anatomy of the bones, types of fractures and the terminology to describe fractures in an unequivocal way. In addition, fractures are discussed in the context of the trauma mechanism, the circumstances under which a fracture occurs and the age of the patient. Any discrepancies between the type of fracture and the alleged trauma mechanism (history as provided by the parents) should arise suspicion of non-accidental injury, where in general the younger the child, the greater the probability of inflicted injuries
